What meaningful legislation does the GOP plan to introduce?

Excellent post. It¡¯s amazing how many voters will back idiots in Congress who bring nothing of value back to their districts (Bobert, MTG, McCarthy). The whole point of Congress is to represent the people who voted you in and get them stuff that improves their lives. So many failures on the GOP Dotard side it¡¯s amazing. Your Congressmen should at least be trying to get your districts more funding, and not worrying about whether an asshat with a Marmot wig appreciates your latest toadyism

House republicans push risky bill to prioritize payments if the treasury department runs out of emergency measures to prevent debt default.  So debt interest is paid before social security and medicare followed by defense and veteran benefits.   Instead of defaulting on bond holders, food stamp recipients and others wouldn't be paid.  So bill is really about cutting spending.  Problem is that it cannot prevent default.

Still no budget proposal from GOP after release of Biden budget.  But yahoo news expect GOP budget to be a disaster.  Capping government spending at 2022 level for a decade would increase costs for families, endanger public health, export jobs and weaken national security.  Spending cuts wouldn't reduce the deficit because they would go to paying for tax cuts to the rich. 

Well the house and Senate with the president signature managed to over turn Washington d.c police reform initiative.

Yes they all stated that d.c leaders can't go ern themselves.... Blocking all reforms made at the city council level.....

This passed Congress.

For political reasons to avoid appearing soft on crime, both democrats and republicans deny DC council self government.  However criminal code is almost a century old and dangerously obsolete in need of updating approved by most voters.  Some of the reforms include reducing excess sentences to match modern sentences and more scrutiny of police using excess force.

The ¡°soft on crime¡± is such a tired trope. I once saw a Repub in his 30s beat an incumbent GOP grandma for a state House seat because he sent out 100,000 mailers saying she was soft on crime and pro sexual assault. Of course she wasn¡¯t either, but she still lost easily. The masses are easily confused

The only proposal I want is splitting this country in 2.

"This notion of diversity, equity and inclusion, it¡¯s a lot to unpack. It's not the nice sounding things that the words sound like. Diversity is pretty much anti-White and secondarily anti-Asian. Equity, of course, is showing favoritism for some racial groups at the expense of other racial groups, which is illegal, unconstitutional and immoral. And inclusion. Wow. Did I feel included because they didn't like my views? So, it seems like there are certain groups that are not included in inclusion,"

"Those groups tend to be White men, heterosexuals, cisgender -- which is kind of a slur against those who are not transgender --Christians, Republicans, conservative," Negy continued. "That's a lot of groups who don't seem to be so welcomed in this inclusivity model."

you can have all the diversity and inclusion you like after

I would dub a proposal to split country

"Turd free in '23"

Soft on crime? Where was I oh no that wagon has run to the ground but it's easy to remember nice ketch phrase...

Meanwhile look at what shining beacon of hope our nations capitol is ... Oh that a place you wanna move to put down roots....

LMFAO d.c been run by the feds since it conception... Look at the house and Senate... Poor Joe stumbling about looking for ice cream last night....

Yeah he found a spoon... USA USA USA....

House GOP inroduces new "parental rights bill" which is unlikely to be approved by senate or white house.  5 republicans vote against bill because they believe education should be a local instead of a federal matter.  Democrats reject this bill because it doesn't improve parents involvement but instead encourage culture wars in schools.

Yes republicans are all about individuals and local unless it's about individuals Right to self identity or public education or whether their bodies can endure a pregnancy...

Yes then it's a federal matter that needs a house committee to determine at a national level what can or can't be done...

But didn't ALL the dems vote against it? Why? Because they are the fascists who want to control EVERYTHING about your life.

AOC says "Freedom over fascism" , seems she doesn't know what it means either.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-gop-vows-on-following-through-with-vote-major-change-to-constitution-great-response?dicbo=v2-wxG8Zmd

Willing to bet, not 1 dem votes for this. Why? Because power and controlling you is their goal and they are not going to give that up. They are the narcissists they were warning you about.

Not really unexpected coming from the GOP

Rand Paul says Republicans in the Senate should filibuster every spending bill until enough Democrats agree to defund the IRS, but it won¡¯t happen because ¡°at least half of the Republican Senators have no spine.¡±

Fucking idiot looking for an excuse to do nothing productive.

The Lower Energy Costs Act passed 225-204 in a vote that saw four Democrats side with Republicans, and one Republican vote against it.

This will reduce the cost of energy and that will reduce inflation!!!

@UNIMAN

 It's DOA when it reaches the Senate.

House GOP energy bill is unlikely to pass in senate and white house.  Under current policies, US already has record production of oil and natural gas.  Bill is a big giveaway to big oil companies earning record profits while holding thousands of unused leases on public lands.  Republicans refuse to hold big polluters accountable for environmental damage and global warming.  Global markets limit the impact of domestic energy policies on reducing prices.  To avoid being at its mercy, US needs to diversify by developing more renewable energy instead of erratic and dirty fossil fuels.  However bill would set US back in transition to cheaper clean energy economy and undermine progress in fight against climate change in the long term.

Biden WH selescts a racist to head DEI

can't make it up

i would sayit is moreoften expected of the gop to fail like that

I agree Hatch, it is an excellent post.... 

On a related subject, it is excellent to see the complete failure to recognize the poster is talking about repeatedly voting for idiots on both sides of the aisle.  well done.  

@kcblitzkrieg & Sidehatch.

Both of you find say you find it amazing how many voters will back idiots in Congress who bring nothing of value back to their districts.

Let me ask both of you something:  So you completely endorse the fleecing of the "U.S. Taxpayer" to fund projects in "your districts."  My feeling is that there are a lot of people like you that want that handout $$ coming to your district from the Federal Government.  I will say it again.  You are screwing the American Taxpayer who is already $32Trillion in debt.  Does that resonate with either of you at all ?? 

Perhaps the Representatives that you ridicule (MTG, McCarthy) recognize this, and so do "their constituents (i.e. voters) " .  They really don't want any handouts from the Federal Government.  These people would rather prefer that the Federal Government just get the hell out of their lives, endorse fiscal responsibility,  just and let personal responsibility take over..  More government spending is bigger government (bad).  

 There is something to be said to "a minimalist" approach to government.  Less is better. 

This is false.  Record production occurred under Trump administration.  Remember, those pesky regulations that Biden assumed on day 1 is the "big" reason gas prices are so high.  We don't need new regulation or bills passed in congress to address the issue !

If "nothing productive" means spending more taxpayer money that we don't have..., then I'm all for it !
